In 2014, British actor Matt Berry delivered a side-splitting recitation of a scathing letter penned by cartoonist and record collector Robert Crumb. This letter was addressed to Swedish jazz saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, who had sent Crumb a CD for review. In a bombastic fashion, Crumb minced no words in expressing his disdain for Gustafsson’s playing. He even went so far as to inscribe ‘torturing the saxophone’ in silver ink on the CD cover. In response to this rather unconventional critique, Gustafsson humorously titled his next album ‘Torturing the Saxophone,’ proudly immortalizing Crumb’s words within the album’s liner notes.”
